"Stourhead" - England

Stourhead

Original Watercolor

This painting was referenced from a photo that I have in my photo archive. A trip to England a few years ago, was the inspiration. There is truely a painting around every corner. Stourhead is an impressive estate, the grounds are absolutely stunning. This painting was very difficult for me because of all the detail. I tend to see everything, and want to put it all in the painting. Something I truly need to work on. I am currently trying some looser images. Keep watching for the progress, your comments would be greatly appreciated.

"Birthday wishes"

Today is my best friends birthday , she is so far away. We use to have so much fun on her birthday. I miss having her close by. We always had good time on our ventures. I want to sent this Birthday wish to her. And hope it is the best ever! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JANET!!!! I love your and miss you.

"Dream Land"

(This is painting on canvas I hang at the back of my tent at arts festivals, it is basically a back drop.) Heading into dream land, Finally feel like I am getting somewhere. Feeling like I can head back to my painting, on a full time bases. The electronics are almost done, the house is in order. Now I can dream and let my dreaming hit my work. The head is finally clear. Dream on... Dream on.....!

"A Day in Ligonier"

What a nice day! The people in Ligonier, PA are so friendly. What a wonderful place to visit. I stopped in a little antique store, which always draws me when I visit. I should have taken a picture of the storefront, but was so absent minded. Just wanted a bit of R & R. Which I got ! The snow held off , and the sun actually peaked out a little, gorgeous! I will have to look into how old this gazebo is in the center square, it would be interesting to know for future reference. Well to all goodnight!

My Web

Another day at working on my web site, maybe a little painting. Hopefully! I would much rather be working on my art. But this part of it is also necessary. With all this work I am hoping that people will enjoy my efforts. I do need to get outside and finish digging myself out from the snow. My car is still buried. The heat wave has set in for a couple days, so now is the time. Get digging. So much to do, so little time. Have a great day!!!

A Day Off

This segment of a piece which I titled "Hourglass" is an acrylic on canvas. A wall hanging with copper and beads. I finished it about oh, 3 months ago. It's been sold, but it reminded me of today sunny and shimmering. It was a different day for me. I actually took the day off and headed to the city. It's still bitter in the burg, but the sun was shining. I had the opportunity to clear the 2 inch thick ice from the driveway. Absolutely amazing! The ice is still on the tree branches, 4 or 5 days now..... It's beautiful, the light shimmers through like diamonds.

La-La Land

Acrylic on Board, Original

Well it's been a very long day. But i just wanted to check a little more on how this works. It's been a full day on the computer. Tomorrow I paint! escape into the la la land I love to be in. Forget any worries, and create!
